Fabien Rousseau commented on CASSANDRA-4417: -------------------------------------------- Could it be that counter increment is written in commitlog and sent to other replicas, BUT : commitlog is not yet flushed on disk AND cassandra is stopped/killed. Ex : - node A receives an increment of 1 for c1 - it stores (A, 1, 1) - it sends the increment to the replicas (A, 1, 1) - node is killed (without commitog being flushed to disk) - on restart, node A receives an increment of 3 for c1 - it stores (A, 1, 3) (because it has no way of knowing the clock "1" was already attributed) > invalid counter shard detected > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4417 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Amazon Linux > Reporter: Senthilvel Rangaswamy > > Seeing errors like these: > 2012-07-06_07:00:27.22662 ERROR 07:00:27,226 invalid counter shard detected; > (17bfd850-ac52-11e1-0000-6ecd0b5b61e7, 1, 13) and > (17bfd850-ac52-11e1-0000-6ecd0b5b61e7, 1, 1) differ only in count; will pick > highest to self-heal; this indicates a bug or corruption generated a bad > counter shard > What does it mean ? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
